I seem to recall that Chrissie Hynde some years ago said that she doesn't want Rush using her song in his show. It is quite difficult to believe that she supports his nutjob political pandering to the double digit IQs.

Her parents like(d) RL. She allowed him (at that time) to use the song because of them.

oryx:As I understand it the royalties Rush Limbaugh pays for My City Was Gone get redirected to PETA.

That's what I heard. He used the music for several years without paying royalties. When Hynde sued to stop him, he agreed to pay Royalties which she promptly donated to PETA. Hynde is a liberal and would never support Rush.

Which is exactly why I dislike her, as well as anyone else who supports PETA. There are plenty of legitimate charities she could have donated the money to that would have annoyed that bloated fart bag Limbaugh.

I have no idea what the source of this is, but this was posted on at least two blogs:

"Last month, Hynde finally got Limbaugh to pull the song but then did an about face on Aug. 18, telling him that he could use the song if he donated all the royalties to the animal right's organization PETA, after PETA campaign manager Dan Mathews told her Limbaugh had a soft-spot for animals. She fired off the following missive to PETA to let them know of the recent developments. "In light of Rush Limbaugh's vocal support of PETA's campaign against the Environmental Protection Agency's foolish plan to test some 3,000 chemicals on animals, I have decided to allow him to keep my song, 'My City Was Gone,' as his signature tune and to donate all proceeds from the deal to further PETA's efforts in that regard""

Chrissie Hynde was a spokesperson for PETA at the time.

Which suggests she did a hell of a lot of drugs in her active rocker years and burned out half her brain cells. I categorize PETA supports in the same group as the Jenny McCarthy anti-vaxxors.
